The older man really had the ability to ruffle oneâs feathers, for his provocation managed to rile up the young lady. She, thus, did not hold herself back when she shot back at him. âIâve always been a stickler for courtesy, especially toward the elderly. While I might not be a rich, young missy or a socialite, I still know enough about basic manners. Nonetheless, thereâs no way one can willingly respect an elder who flaunts his seniority and doesnât know how to respect others. âDo unto others as you would have them do unto you.â Surely, you know this basic principle?â
Silence ensued on the other end for a while, and all she could hear was his heavy breathing. Cold, angry laughter could be heard moments later.
âFor a useless woman like you, I must say that you have quite a vicious tongue! Iâm in no mood for chit-chat, so listen up: I have an important matter to discuss with you, so Iâm inviting you to come to the Mu residence! Itâs all on my nephewâs account that Iâm speaking so politely and extending such courtesy to you; thatâs why donât test my patience by stirring sh*t with me!â
âWhat are you saying? Since when have I ever done that? Rather, itâs you guys who have beenââ
Mu Linfeng, who did not have the patience to listen to the woman any further, just rudely cut her off mid-speech. âCut the crap and just get your *ss here! Iâll send you our address in a moment, so youâd better be here in half an hour! Weâll talk when we meet!â
âI wonât go! Even if I am, Iâll wait for my husband to return from work first!â
Despite her firm attitude, she was no match for the senior who had braved through countless storms and bloodbaths in his many years in the political arena! Even her husbandâs rigorous means and temperament had more or less been picked up from his uncle.
The elderly one, meanwhile, was naturally very much ticked by her adamant attitude!
âNow, donât go all aggressive on me, young lady! Weâre no beasts; we wonât eat you up or do anything to you! You can be at ease that Iâm only asking you to come over for a discussionâno dirty tricks! Iâve already informed my nephew about this, and heâll be here soon. I suggest that you donât make things difficult for the both of us if you donât want things to turn ugly!â
After leaving that threat behind, the old man promptly hung up the call.
As Yun Shishi held the phone in her hand, she could feel a blazing ball of fury surging within her, which was sparked by the callerâs antagonistic attitude. She was already feeling very offended in the first place, but he just had to say such things to her. She had the increasing impression that he was simply beyond reasoning!
Why should I go?!
Thereâs no way that the so-called important matter is anything good! I donât even give a hoot about being Young Madame Mu to begin with! They are the ones who wouldnât stop hounding me! Their relentless harassment is getting annoying!
At the thought of this, however, the woman snorted.
Fine! Itâs just as well! I havenât gotten the chance to meet those people from the Mu family, anyway. Since Mu Linfeng has personally extended an invitation to me, thereâs no reason for me not to show up!
Iâll go and make things clear to them once and for all! Be they pleasantries or nasty words, weâll thrash things out today, lest they come harassing me again!
With the intention of having a showdown in mind, the determined woman rose to her feet and told her youngest son, âYouyou, I have to go out for a bit. Be good and stay at home with your brother.â
âWhere are you going, mommy?â
âI have an important matter to attend to. You boys can take your dinner first. Iâll be back for dinner later in the evening.â
âIâll go withââ
âNo need. You just stay at home.â
